Mountaineers Crack Top 25

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University women’s basketball team cracked the top 25 in the Associated Press poll this week after recording three consecutive wins.

At No. 25, the Mountaineers captured a 54-47 road victory over Virginia on Dec. 2 and followed it by going 2-0 last week with a 64-48 win over Marshall on Tuesday and a 67-47 defeat of St. Bonaventure on Saturday.
